The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret DVD Review
The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret may not be everyone’s cup of tea, and you may feel as though it goes a tad too far with some of the jokes. However, if you love a comedy of errors, then this may be for you.

The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd
Margaret is a comedy of errors about a man who just can’t seem to make
his life easier for himself by making all the wrong decisions.

American Todd Margaret (David Cross) is
given an opportunity to work in London which is too good to refuse. This
is the first of his poor decisions, along with the decision to lie about
how his father has passed away and is actually from Leeds. Once he moves
to London, he finds that the energy drink he is in charge of is actually
considered unsanitary and that is only where the trouble for him begins.
His only employee, Dave (Blake Harrison) has a secret agenda and Todd
falls for waitress, Alice (Sharon Horgan), who doesn’t seem to feel the
same way.

The best thing about The Increasingly Poor
Decisions of Todd Margaret is that it shows the differences between
American and British humour. It is often remarked upon how the two are
extremely different and here is a comedy that contains both, and shows
how the two just sometimes don’t quite get each other. So you pretty
much get the best of both worlds here.

However, the type of comedy that surrounds
David Cross’ Todd Margaret may not be to everyone’s liking. It is the
type of comedy where the lead character just can’t seem to do anything
right and it is just mistake after mistake. Some people will find it
hilarious, some people will find it embarrassing and some people will
just find it downright annoying. For the people who find it annoying,
Todd Margaret is a case of “Really? Again?”

He is a character that you almost feel
sorry for, but then he just proves that he really doesn’t want to help
himself as he digs himself further into the hole.

It is unfair to say that the show isn’t
funny, because it really is and it is also quite clever as each episode
continues on from the next and they are all linked. There is even the
little bit of a mystery that unravels throughout the series and it is
intriguing enough to keep you watching till the end.

David Cross really is a very funny man. He
carries the series well and as creator of the series, he knows his
capabilities and who he is as a comedian. Will Arnett also provides some
fantastic laughs as his boss.

The special features include:-

Extended version of Episode One

Q and A with the cast and crew

Bloopers

Deleted scenes

In Remembrance Of The Late David Cross

An Act of Todd

DVD extra extras

“In Remembrance Of The Late David Cross”
causes some confusion at first as to whether David Cross has passed away
without you knowing about it, but it’s just a tribute to Cross and his
role on the show. It is actually where you appreciate him the most as
you see how hard a worker he is. This featurette also has a hilarious
mini-interview between Cross and Arnett. The bloopers are also generous
with over 5 minutes of mishaps.

The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd
Margaret may not be everyone’s cup of tea, and you may feel as though it
goes a tad too far with some of the jokes. However, if you love a comedy
of errors, then this may be for you.
